Street Fighter X Tekken: From button masher to fighting phenom
By catering to the pick-up-and-play crowd as well as the hardcore players, and with a little help from a former (and future) rival, Capcom has created its most accessible and fun fighter to date.

On Omar Yusuf's  Going Back with Bitmob
"Greg Ford, I challenge you to Street Fighter IV!  Er, or Super.

Gonna have to agree with you, though... I still play the original SF2 every so often as well."

On Daniel Sims'  Can Video Game Screenshots Double as Fine-Art Photography?
"Yes and no.

If you work at a developer and can manipulate the camera and its position, the lighting, the models, the environment... I don't see how that's any different than framing/positioning/lighting a shot.  When I was still in the industry, we had to pose and render models/scenes (in both the game engine and Maya) all the time.

But for the general population... no.  They're screenshots."

On Gabriel Shelnutt's  Will you still Knee me? Will you Chun-Li me? When I'm sixty-four?
"Great write-up and I can totally relate!  From the SF2 cabinet I used to drop quarters into with my younger brother, and as I got older my PS1 and Street Fighter Alpha 3 down in the common room in the dorms, to playing 3rd Strike and MvC2 in friends' rooms/apartments - guys who I'm still friends with to this day... to a friend hosting crazy 20+ player game nights with SF4. 

Also, for those of you who want to find some folks to play SSF4 with in person - it's an entirely different experience, to be sitting next to someone while kicking their ass/getting handed yours - I suggest looking at the regional matchmaking forums on shoryuken.com. "

On Dan "Shoe" Hsu's  WonderCon 2010 in Pictures, Part 2: More Merchandizening
"WHAT.  I would totally pay $700 for that SF2 machine!  Well, if it was in excellent+ condition.


Also, re: nerd posters, not true.  I had a SF3: Third Strike poster in my room in college.  I got laid despite that, ha!"

On Dan "Shoe" Hsu's  Super Street Fighter 4 Profiles: Juri
"existing characters have variations in health. Their health bars are all the same length, but when hit, more of the bar will be depleted. Akuma is a good example of this - if you hit him with any given move, more of the bar will be depleted than, say, if you hit Sagat with the same m"

On Dan "Shoe" Hsu's  My diary: Game Developers Conference 2009
"it's pretty funny that you prefaced the article/diary/feature/whatever with the part about the thinking-you-broke-your-thumb while snowboarding, but what about the groan-inducing "Hey, you have a sore thumb, hurr hurrrr""
